Student Magnetic Field Demonstrator
Model Number: MTME-12
The Student Magnetic Field Demonstrator is a compact apparatus designed to provide a clear visual demonstration of magnetic field lines. Micro Technologies supplies the unit with iron filings suspended in silicone oil inside a flat transparent box, allowing magnetic field patterns to be observed without handling loose iron filings. The apparatus measures approximately 120 × 75 × 10 mm, making it compact, reusable, and convenient for magnetism experiments with suitable permanent magnets.
Product Specification
The Student Magnetic Field Demonstrator is a simple and effective apparatus designed for visualizing magnetic field lines around suitable magnets. It provides an enclosed alternative to conventional experiments that use loose iron filings.
The apparatus consists of a flat, transparent box containing iron filings suspended in silicone oil. The transparent enclosure provides clear visibility of the internal particles while keeping the filings permanently contained.
When a suitable magnet is positioned near the demonstrator, the iron filings respond to the magnetic field and arrange themselves according to the field distribution. This produces a visible pattern that represents the shape of the magnetic field surrounding the magnet.
Micro Technologies supplies the demonstrator with approximate dimensions of 120 × 75 × 10 mm. Its compact rectangular format makes it convenient to position over or near different magnetic sources during experiments.
The suspension of iron filings in silicone oil allows the particles to move in response to the magnetic field while remaining safely enclosed within the transparent chamber. After the magnetic source is removed or repositioned, the apparatus can be prepared again for another observation without collecting or replacing loose filings.
The demonstrator can be used with compatible bar magnets, horseshoe magnets, and other permanent magnet configurations to compare their magnetic field patterns. Different pole arrangements can also be investigated to observe how magnetic fields interact.
Experiments involving attraction and repulsion can be visualized by positioning two suitable magnets near the apparatus with different pole orientations. The resulting filing patterns provide a useful representation of the combined magnetic fields.
Its sealed construction reduces preparation and cleanup requirements, while its compact size makes the apparatus easy to handle and store. It provides a practical solution for repeated magnetic-field visualization experiments.

FAQs
What is the Student Magnetic Field Demonstrator used for?
It is used to visualize magnetic field lines and patterns produced by suitable permanent magnets.
What is inside the demonstrator?
The transparent enclosure contains iron filings suspended in silicone oil.
What is the size of the apparatus?
The demonstrator measures approximately 120 × 75 × 10 mm.
How does it show magnetic field lines?
When a magnet is brought near the apparatus, the iron filings respond to the magnetic field and arrange themselves into visible patterns corresponding to the field distribution.
Why are the iron filings suspended in silicone oil?
The silicone oil provides a medium in which the filings can respond to magnetic forces while keeping them contained inside the apparatus.
Are loose iron filings required?
No. The iron filings are already sealed inside the transparent enclosure.
Can it be used with a bar magnet?
Yes. A compatible bar magnet can be positioned near the demonstrator to visualize its characteristic magnetic field pattern.
Can it be used with a horseshoe magnet?
Yes. It can be used with a suitable horseshoe magnet to observe the field pattern around and between its poles.
Can attraction and repulsion field patterns be demonstrated?
Yes. Two suitable magnets can be arranged with like or unlike poles facing each other to investigate the resulting combined magnetic-field patterns.
Does the apparatus require electricity?
No. The demonstrator responds directly to magnetic fields and requires no electrical power.
Is the Magnetic Field Demonstrator reusable?
Yes. Its sealed construction allows it to be used repeatedly for magnetic-field visualization experiments.
Can Student Magnetic Field Demonstrators be supplied in bulk?
Yes. Micro Technologies can supply these demonstrators in bulk for physics laboratories, universities, colleges, research facilities, scientific equipment distributors, and institutional procurement.
